The percentage of students accepted who attend gives a fuller picture...
I think BYU is #1 in that category.
I'm not saying it's an Ivy, but there is a lot of self-selection that would make the front end acceptance rate much less meaningful.

BYU has a 50% acceptance rate?!? I was shocked to learn it's that easy to get

A lot self-select out & don't apply.

Yep. This is a big factor. Pretty much everyone knows how hard it is to get

I wonder if that will change under the new "wholistic" (i.e., random) approach

making admission subjective introduces an element of randomness

I bet you the top quartile of applicants get in at about a 98% clip

That used to be true, but isn't anymore (as far as I know).

Higher than that. Last year it was 65%

I like to think of it as the Stansbury of the East.

Not #1 many years, but always in the top 5 nationally for yield.
